Tucked into the lower east side, El Ray Coffee Bar & Luncheonette aims for healthy LA, complete with the requisite kale salad. I went in prepared to deeply hate its neon sign and agua frescas, but ran into the slight problem that the chia is actually delicious, the coffee is reliably tasty, and at the end of the day, it's hard not to dislike a place that puts avocado on everything. So don't fight it: order the avocado on za'atar flatbread with eggs, throw on ripped jeans, and embrace the sun.
